Bibliography

First described and edited by No name 1887–, pp. 1956–57: B.15 and in No name 1887–, pp. 1995–96, B.5, followed by Hanumantha_Rao1998. Despite wild variation of reading, the three publications probably all refer to the same inscription. No name 1887–, pp. 1995–96 cites different provenance; observed at Guntur acc. To No name 1887–, pp. 1956–57, and at the time No name 1887–, pp. 1995–96 was compiled the stone was still in Guntur. Re-edited here from published documentation and after autopsy of the stone.
